Is there a
recipe for being Good or Bad?
Over the
years of owning a Jewish Book and Judaica
store I have had some people come in and
browse and tell me, "G-d doesn't care what I
eat - all I have to do is be a good
person..."
If people
in sports eat a special diet so they can
perform well in their sport and people
that are health conscience eat foods to make
them feel healthy or better yet, if
someone changes their diet because of a heart condition or being over weight
- then diet must be important. The
make these diet changes so they can perform
at their peak, live longer and have a
happier life?
There are
over 107 million web pages with the phrase
"you are what you eat"!
- What do
people who want to be religious eat?
- What
is the difference between Jewish Cooking
and Kosher Cooking?
Does
what you eat effect the way you think?
If a person's
judgment can be clouded by what they consume
like alcohol and drugs can eating trief

The
question begs to be asked, What role
does food play in our lives? Is it
only a momentary thing to satisfy hunger and
to cause biological functions to occur?
People who do good...where did they get the
physical and spiritual strength to perform
those acts? Or where do people who do evil
get the physical and spiritual strength
to commit those acts?
If Vance
Armstrong ate foods to help him win the Tour
De France - what do I have to eat to win or
elevate my
spiritual soul?
I can't
believe Vance Armstrong didn't believe what he
ate all year long and especially the night
before the race wouldn't effect his chances
of winning... nor can
I believe anyone thinks that any athlete
wins by accident.
What
does the word recipe mean?
- A set of
directions with a list of ingredients for
making or preparing something, especially
food.
- A
formula for or means to a desired end: a
recipe for success.
How much
more important is this for someone who wants to love G-d with
all their mind and strength? |
